Saturday Shopping a Mighty Smart Cure for the Autumn Shivers
October opens her Gala-Glee Court here today ! This month will mark the Grand Entree of New
Departments into the New Sixth Street Annex and the Development of this always Portland's foremost Store Into what
must be known and spoken of as PORTLAND'S LARGEST CONGRESS STORE ! A word here anent store service :
We are working very bard, not so much to increase sales as they grow naturally in a store like this hut to improve our store service. In order to meet local conditions in a go-ahead
metropolitan city like Portland, to cope with the great matter of delivery over a territory so large; to make more comfortahle the already comfortahle service of this "Old Home
stead" store; to make sure that this is decidedly the BEST store in all the Northwest as it is to he the largest brings us face to face with propositions that must he worked out
along new and best-known lines. The "Congress Store," and its satellite, the "Department Store," in America, grew from the originally conceived Bon Marche of Paris. But that
store could no more he brought bodily to America than one could translate the French shrug of the shoulder. America saw a great business done on new lines of liberality and reach
ing new measures in volume; and America, with that for a textbook; graduated storekeepers into merchants, and proceeded to give to Americans the largest stores in the world and
Portland is represented among h em by the Olds, Wortman & King organization. We aim now to make, doubly sure that this store's service shall be best. We're hunting faults that
they exist is sure join us in the hunt, and when you raise the quarry complain direct to the firm. We're after those weak spots, curing blunderers as well as blunders. We've decided
that best store service is assured by following the modern and humane course of early closing and shorter hours for helpers so
WE CLOSE OUR DOORS AT 6 P. M. EVERY SHOPPING DAY SATURDAY INCLUDED.

A WORD ON RAINCOATS
That garment indispensable to Oregon women. Of these we've
said little thi3 season, preferring to await their .season, now
upon us. A word of 'em today.
Onr stocks are full and complete, with new coming every
day to replace those going out. We sell more Raincoats than
all nf.bur inral "hnnMs combined. Of one house alone we buy
more PRIESTLEY CRAVENETTES than are sent to this Coast
by all other houses combined a strong statement, but true.
One make exploited by a neighboring nouse we ao not carry, lor
ip crnnrl and snfficient reason that after test we've FOUND
THEM NOT TO BE RAINPROOF hardly a satisfactory gar
ment for this House to carry tor its traa.e. in au xne newesu
models, from leading manufacturers, in styles and materials as
handsome and exclusive as are its other wraps which appeal so
strongly to dressy women, this house stands in a class by itself,
head and shoulders over competing stores that ape its styles in
Raincoats as subserviently as they shadow in all else. A wide
range of price affords a big field for choosing 10.00 to
$50.00, with plenty of stop-off prices in between.
